The first Aotearoa Bike Challenge kicked off across the country early this month, but is not too late to sign up.
More than 760 organisations and 6,400 New Zealanders have already geared up for the month-long challenge which started on February 1.
Registrations remain open until February 28 and a 10 minute journey by bike is all it takes to participate.
The Challenge is based on the global Love to Ride platform which has been brought to New Zealand by the NZ Transport Agency.
"Whether you have some experience in the saddle or are completely new to cycling, the Challenge provides riders with support and motivation and the knowledge that thousands of New Zealanders will be doing it with them," says NZ Transport Agency National Cycling Manager Dougal List.
As well as encouraging individuals to cycle it is a great way to make the most of friendly workplace competition.
The number of rides clocked up by a team contributes towards the efforts of the organisation as a whole. So the more people you get involved, the more chance you have of winning great prizes.
To give riders an extra incentive there is a brand new eBike, a Panasonic Smart TV, cycling gear, movie vouchers and many more prizes to be won.

That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.
HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop, the viruses are mostly transmitted by teenagers and young adults but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they are young. Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their life. Protecting children before they are exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.
For more information about HPV immunisation, see www.health.govt.nz/hpv
How do we get people to recognise what they need to do to keep safe while fishing and swimming? In spite of all the education programmes it doesn't seem to be working. Should it be compulsory to wear a life jacket while participating in these recreational activities?
